Protesters want to set up camp at Civic Plaza
(By LAURA GRAFF, Winston-Salem Journal) - Members of Occupy Winston-Salem are arguing that they want to set up a camp at Civic Plaza near BB&T and Wells Fargo bank offices instead of protesting at the parking lot farther away that city officials have offered.
The protesters say the lot at Seventh and Marshall streets is too far from the banks and too close to a day-care center. They want to camp in the open, grass-filled park at Fourth and Trade streets.
City officials, though, say Civic Plaza is not an option.

Let me get this straight. A city bends over backwards for these people by giving them a special permit to camp in a public place (paid for by the taxpayers)...and they have the gall to ask for something better! What a bunch of spoiled brats!
